Music come on and get around and freak them out do you see what I see as we all fall down, pick up the microphone and tell the world what you know, in color or black and white, just make it sound right, do you want to have a voice, do you want to make noise, join in the ...
The company...
You're building a strong wall you're calling.
Darkness is closing in, the battle will soon begin they wait out in a distance.
Do you want to have a voice, do you want to make noise join in the defany the company of sad.
Come on and gather round.
Do you see what I see as we all fall down.
Come on and gather round the enemies has locked me out as it all falls down.
